Fluffy frittata, filled with slow-cooked eggs, parmesan, potatoes, tomato salsa & sorrel. Much more flavorsome than any old omelet at high-profile outlets elsewhere.

Salmon-&-tuna akame fish cake with poached egg. Prices are encouragingly low; most items cost under RM20, so even a belly-busting meal with drinks won't exceed RM50 per person.

Pumpkin soup with cilantro pesto. A tangy Thai twist to perk up what would otherwise be a banal broth; it's like tom yam crossed with pumpkin soup, almost.

Almond-blanketed prawns with Oriental salad. The nuttiest crustaceans ever; a tasty testament to the crazy creativity of the folks here & their expert execution.

Complimentary moist dark chocolate cake. All in all, Allison's Place is a crackerjack venue for breakfast, lunch & tea.

Cranberry smoothie & cappuccino.

Mixed smoothies: apricot & oat bran, alongside banana & macadamia.

Allison's Place @ Damansara Heights,

8-1A, Damansara Heights, Kuala Lumpur (behind Hock Lee mini-market).

Open Monday-Saturday, 8am-4pm.

Missyblurkit: yeah, it's a very welcoming, laid-back place. we thought the food would be just average, but it turned out to be impressively well-prepared! :DWendy: ya, and it actually tastes wholesome, with a home-made kinda feel! the ingredients seem fresh and there's no excess oil or salt or anything nasty. =)

Baby sumo: heheh, it's too early for christmas shopping for me, though the store already has some santa decorations for sale! :DMichelle: there's some nice coarse roughage to give the drink more texture. the oat bran probably doesn't add much flavor, but it's a good way to boost our fiber intake =)

lovemandy: this restaurant in sri petaling specializes in turkey: http://eatdrinkkl.blogspot.com/2011/06/turkey-point.htmlCKiong: heheh, i wanna try some of their main courses :D and your photos usually nicer lah. if mine are 5/10, yours are 7/10, heheh :D

Kenny: the older brother is usually supposed to be given the lion's share of the food after all =)Ms Tindall: ooh, i didn't try the coffee, but my friend was pleased enough with it that he ordered two cups! :D

Now this is the kinda place I would love to spend my afternoons at, lazing and doing nothing. A perfect place to escape the craziness at the office if I wanted to...if only parking isn't horrendous here on normal work days. Guess it's weekends for me then. And the close at 4pm? Like really?

qwazymonkey: yeah, the business hours are awfully inconvenient. i guess the best time to go is on saturdays for brunch, since it's closed on sundays! you're right, it's a really nice place to escape to, with pretty friendly people there. and surprisingly, it's not crowded at all =)
